Drudge posted Giuliani's funding of abortion video. Take a look at some of the comments
It doesn't seem to be going over too well with the conservative base. This may be the one video that does him in:

If Mitt Romney's positions from 1994 and 2002 are off-limits, then certainly so are Giuliani's from 1989. Come on, conservatives. None of these top-tier candidates deserve our support. Let us be consistent and unite behind Huckabee!

I just wanna know how he justifies having the government pay for abortions. Wasn't he raised a CATHOLIC? Didn't he consider himself a Catholic when he said all this. I remember Catholic priests refused to give Kerry Communion because of his stand on abortion- and I don't recall him ever favoring having the gov't pay for them. Rudy is WORSE or at least as bad than Kerry when it comes to ABORTION. Does he still consider himself Catholic or is he some other religion now?

I saw Gianna Jessen on TV a few weeks ago, she was "born" on April 6, 1977 at 7 1/2 months old. She is a survivor of an instillation abortion. Both Gianna's birth mother & abortionist involved (Dr John Edwards) have confirmed it. She is pretty amazing person, so full of life. More -> Wikipedia & find the TV interview (19 min in the show.)

"If you feel that abortion is wrong, then don't have one." and with the same reasoning... If you feel the war in Iraq is wrong, then don't enlist in the military.

He screwed the pooch on this one. He should have known better than to make such a concrete statement on such a polarizing issue. Of course, when you're a DA you can find peace with being open and honest...He looses my vote.

You wont see him get past the primary.

PUBLIC FUNDING? Oh sure, who's going to pay for it? The fiscally responsible? The man is a Marxist, just like Schwarzenegger.

How can you claim Rudy is for smaller government when he advocates setting up a program for tax payers to pay for abortions! That's a contradiction. Having the government set up a program to pay for abortions will by its very nature necessitate bigger government. Of course there is also the fact most Republicans find abortion morally repugnant.

1. None of their candidates are supported by the Conservatoid Base.
I hope Gingrich gets in.

8. What really scares me is that I too think Newt would be a cinch
to beat.

And then I remember back when I wanted to see Reagan get the nom because he was the only Puggy candidate who was an obvious sure loser to Carter.

3. So telling
that the evil bastard dobson can not find a declared gop candidate hateful enough or a religious zealot to back so he lets gingrich air his dirty laundry and grovel on his radio program broadcast to all the fuckers who don't want others to have constitutional liberties. a gingrich-Clinton race would be quite nice indeed. Maybe their spouses could have a debate.

5. That would be entertaining - a Gingrich Clinton campaign would be
pretty bloody.

9. No foolin'. The race would be won by whichever of them could
ratchet up the opponent's negatives above their own. A ready-made formula for a fecal-smearing match.

12. I just hope Hagel doesnt run as an independant
he put out that possibility over the weekend.

He would suck up a lot of the "anti-war but dont like Hillary" voters in the middle.

13. I don't know - think Hagel would hurt Gingrich more than Hilary
Because Gingrich would be running on the exactly the same kind of belligerent foreign policy we've seen from this white house all along - Hagel would be a change from that.

OK, dipshit. Then if you think the war is right, aren't you OBLIGATED to enlist? I hope you're posting on Drudge from Iraq in your off-duty hours.

10. Good
I hope the biggest thing people are able to show about him is how he turned the new york police department against the new york fire department after 9/11 with outlandish comments and how he was a disgrace to 9/11 more than a hero (though admittedly still doing a little good). I guess being a new yorker that's also important to me, it'd also shut him up about toting more 9/11 rhetoric we don't want to hear from right-wing campaigns. Ugh.
